Future Schedules

Re: Future Schedules

Also for the ndsu game since we were former season ticket holders we were able to actually get tickets for the game one year before going to general public. I dont remember the details but something to that effect.

Re: Future Schedules

Does anyone know how single game tickets for the bison game will work this year? Two years ago they didnt go on sale to the public until really close to the game. Is that going to be the same this year?

Hope so. For those who will be interested in single game tickets, contact a season ticket holder. In the past, season ticket holders had an opportunity to purchase additional single tickets before they go on sale to the general public. I picked up several for friends.

Re: Future Schedules

I would think that budgets play a big part in what is offered. ISU pockets may not be that deep, and Dixie is kind of in a position where it takes whatever it can get.

Very true.

A - never thought Dixie State would be in Utah
B - Traveling in late November could be the reason they asked for/got more money
C - Looks like a pretty empty schedule still

I would agree with you that SDSU probably over-offered based on ISU's offer. Bloomington does have it's own airport, might have helped traveling expenses there.

Re: Future Schedules

Or ISU locked in the weekend before SDSU got there. Dixie wanted a premium payment to play so far away from home on consecutive weekends.

Re: Future Schedules

It does not make sense based on miles traveled. St George Utah is about 1360 miles from Brookings and St George is about 1600 miles from Normal I’ll. About 300 more miles to ISU. I think in setting up a schedule, Dixie had a pick of several offers, and SDSU was more generous. The people scheduling at SDSU possibly did know about ISU low ball offer.

Re: Future Schedules

I find it interesting that they will travel to Brookings to play one week and make $200K and the very next week they travel to Illinois State and make $85K.
I'm sure there are some factors in the difference but that seems like a big difference to me.

Jacks paying Dixie State $200K to come to Brookings on Nov 14, 2020.

Their first season of FCS play will be 2020. They will be an FCS Independent. Interesting date for the game too.

Re: Future Schedules

Honestly, if our future non conference schedule consisted of 1 power 5 FBS, Augie, and a home/home with MSU/UM/SHSU type each year, I'd be fine with that. From a ticket sales perspective, Augie at home will out draw a UAPB, and honestly might out draw some of the others mentioned too. In years where we have a home game against a good FCS squad, we could play Augie on the road. When alot of our fans are coming from SF, we'd funtionally have 7 home games each year. Throw in the fact that in any given year, we will have a road game at both UNI and Fargo, or at both UND and USD. Suddenly, 8-9 of our 11 games are at home or within a 4 hour drive. That sounds pretty good to me.

Re: Future Schedules

FCS counter game > 2 FBS games >>>>>>> non-D1

Playoffs! That is what it's about.

Correct -

FCS counter game > Arkansas Pine Bluff every year and we score 90+ each time > 2 FBS games >>>>>>> non-D1

Re: Future Schedules

As long as the Jacks are playing FCS teams at home, I'm fine with the schedule. Until fans start forking over much bigger donations, we can't ask for more than that. Also, to start next season, the Jacks will play an improved FBS Gophers' team. So SDSU's two new coordinators and new quarterback will be strongly tested from the get-go.

Re: Future Schedules

Wow, we've become like USD fans and wanting to schedule easy. I mean seriously, if we can't beat a bottom of the barrel Southland/OVC/Big South/etc team then the MVFC will chew us up and spit us out anyway. Now maybe we contacted all those teams about a one-of and they said no, then I guess fine. But no one here is going to convince me that a crappy bottom two of the MEAC game is anything but a joke. The only benefit is that it's a counter. Everything else about it sucks.

Let's apply your thought process to FCS teams. Say goodbye to playing anyone in the P5 and hello to MAC (maybe). More than likely you would be playing teams in CUSA or Sun Belt. Maybe you would enjoying going to those games, I will pass on that. If the Jacks can't schedule a Big12 or Big 10 team, then I would rather see them play at home.

Edit: You also assumed that they went straight to DSU and didn't try other options. I doubt that an east coast team was their first choice. Some one with less travel cost was probably their preference.
